Here are THE 3 Bills Hillary Clinton Sponsored That Became Law While US Senator
Independent Journal Review ^ | 12/2015 | Mike Miller

Posted on 10/09/2016 10:16:40 PM PDT by Freedom56v2

During an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer in September, Hillary Clinton was unable to name her "number one accomplishment" as Secretary of State.

When she gave her answer, she turned to her tenure as the junior Senator from New York, saying:

"As [a] senator working across the aisle on issues like getting better health care for our veterans. You know, this is just the silly season. I am looking forward to eventually debating on that stage whoever they finally nominate once they get around to doing that."

What exactly were Hillary's accomplishments as a U.S. Senator?

As reported by Washington Examiner, of the 713 pieces of legislation she sponsored or co-sponsored during her 8-year senate career, only three pieces of legislation that she sponsored became law.

As documented by Congress.gov, these "monumental" laws were:

S.3145 - A bill to designate a portion of United States Route 20A, located in Orchard Park, New York, as the "Timothy J. Russert Highway".

S.3613 - A bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 2951 New York Highway 43 in Averill Park, New York, as the "Major George Quamo Post Office Building".

S.1241 - Kate Mullany National Historic Site Act

Just to recap, these were bills that: renamed a highway after a journalist; re-designated a post office; and deemed a brick house in Troy, N.Y., as a national historic site to honor a 19th-century female union leader.

In other words, they were laws passed to turn otherwise ordinary things - a highway, a post office, and a brick building - into something "historic." That's quite a message, coming from the Hillary Clinton campaign.

Not 400??? What a shock, not. She’s a real do nothing liar. As she said, her biggest accomplishment was getting reelected. She sounded ridiculous saying that.

Yes, I was struck buy the "400" number.

Where did she pull that out of?

Even Ted Kennedy probably didn't have 400 bills signed into law.

And he was the "Lion of the Senate".

And I will bet you that she didn’t “carry” upstate New York.

Bumper stickers always crack me up, but I saw the best set of them this week.......

Sanders 2016 and Hillary for Prison 2016 on the same car!

If even a quarter of the Sanders supporters do not vote for her she is in major trouble in many states. That is a fact.

The question for Trump is how many people have grabbed their care bear and cried in the corner that usually vote for the GOP. I don’t think it is nearly as many as the media hopes... I think there are more Sanders supporters who will not vote for her.

Will find out who is right in a month!

She actually did better in upstate NY then we all thought, but NO ONE can figure out how?????

It really ticked me off when she took credit for getting funding for NY after 911.

The only thing she did after 911 was LIE about how Chesea was down there.

Wow, I bet Infowars would pay big money for a pic of that car...;) Well, they would pu7t up an article because they designed some of those Hillary bumper stickers...

Sure hope some of the Sanders folks wise up...There was another thread about the fact that they are “seething” over the just-released Hillary Wall Street Tapes. Fools if they vote for Illary.

From what I have read, it is all the GOPe media and polls that are against Trump and grabbing their care bears crying in the corner...

I am part of the crawl across broken glass, burning flames, torrential rains, tsunami waves, white-out blizzards group that will go to ends of earth to vote for our guy!!!

No idea...this is what Wikipedia said:

While a member of the U.S. Senate, Clinton sponsored 31 pieces of legislation,[dubious – discuss] including 21 bills, 9 amendments, 33 Senate Resolutions, and 21 concurrent resolutions.[11] Fourteen of her Senate resolutions were passed, expressing the Senate’s views on policy or commemorative questions.[11] One of her concurrent resolutions—supporting National Purple Heart Recognition Day—passed both houses. Three [12] became law

Note Wiki said the number 31 is dubious... No idea what they were—don’t care, but the THREE THAT PASSED WERE RENAMING LOCATIONS...

In other words, her Senate career was total BS—just a stepping stone to run for Pres...the picture of her nearly asleep in the Senate chamber comes to my mind...

Well .. Trump never said HE was going to put her in jail - as the LEFT claimed .. Trump said, “you would be in jail”.

Trump also said he would ask his Atty Gen to open a new investigation .. THAT IS NOT SAYING HE PERSONALLY WOULD PUT HER IN JAIL.

See how the LEFT always turns everything to make it look like Trump committed a crime .. Trump is right .. they all need to go to jail.

I didn’t like it when Trump said he admired that she won’t quit. I hope he straightens that out by saying he meant “She’ll never quit trying to destroy this country.”

As for her question about what Bill said about Obamacare, to which I was surprised Anderson 360 asked the question, was a complete dodge. All she said was that Bill explained what he meant. Another one Trump should have pounced on.

In the next election I want his responses to be “Hillary, you didn’t answer the question. So if you need another minute to actually answer the question, I’ll give you one of my two.”
